Did you know the cost of treating dementia for one month is often more than the cost of a pair of hiqh quality hearing aids?

Did you know that other research has shown that a hearing impaired person makes 30 percent less income on average than others?

Did you know that hearing loss occurs in 50 percent of people with diabetes, and that it's also connected to heart disease, stroke and even child birth in women?

Did you know two-thirds of the estimated 36 million Americans with treatable hearing loss are under the age of 60? Wouldn't you agree it's about time we Americans wise up about hearing loss and its impact on people and society? It just makes good money sense, as well as being the most compassionate thing to do.

Please let me know if you will support this and encourage other politicians to do the same.
